Creating a Mechanical Cut

Use Mechanical Cut to cut several layers or several layers groups, using a mechanical feature and a geometry.

Before you begin: A stacking with at least one layers group must exist.

Optional: Replace the default name Mechanical Cut.n with a more significant one.
Select the Elements to Cut, either:
- A Layer.
- A Layers Group (All the layers of the group are cut).
- The Stacking.
Define the Cutting geometries: Either select or create a sketch, a pattern, or a symmetry.
The Cutting geometries can be
- One open or closed wire. Specify the side to keep.
- Or several closed wires (The inside of the wires is removed).
